Cause I’m cooler than the red dress
Cause I’m cooler
Cause I’m cooler
Cause I’m cooler than the red dress
Cause I’m cooler
Cause I’m cooler

A girl’s entitled to flaunt
To get what she wants
Can’t say that it’s wrong
No baby, a man’s not a boy can’t you see
We’re pulling the strings
We’re taking the lead

And when you’re sure
You’ll never let her play you again
She’ll put on your favourite smile
Unplug the phone to get you alone
Dirty dance, her hips will send you into a trance

Cause I’m cooler than the red dress
I’d rather catch a guy on my own
(Give me credit)
Cause what you see the man gets
(Don’t forget it)
And if he don’t I’m better off here alone
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Don’t need candlelight to make you stay over
I’m giving it up now, baby
If that’s what I gotta do just to own you
I’m giving it up now maybe
(To you)

I’ve played the desperate lady
Jumped through all of the hoops boy
Instead of constant craving
I leave the chasing to you
And if you don’t respect it
I’ll kick with my Jimmy Choos
Cause boy if you don’t love me
Then I’ve got nothing to lose

And when you’re sure
You’ll never let her play you again
She’ll put on your favourite smile
Unplug the phone to get you alone
Dirty dance, that’s not the way I get my romance

Cause I’m cooler than the red dress
I’d rather catch a guy on my own
Cause what you see the man gets
And if he don’t I’m better off here alone

(Save your kisses)
Cause I’m cooler than the red dress
(Do you get it)
I’d rather catch a guy on my own
(Give me credit)
Cause what you see the man gets
(Don’t forget it)
And if he don’t I’m better off here alone
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Don’t need candlelight to make you stay over
I’m giving it up now, baby
If that’s what I gotta do just to own you
I’m giving it up now maybe
(Maybe)

Don’t need candlelight to make you stay over
I’m giving it up now (up now) baby (baby)
If that’s what I gotta do just to own you (own ya)
I’m giving it up now maybe
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
So don’t call me baby
Cooler than the red dress
So don’t call me baby
Cooler than the red dress
So don’t call me baby
Cooler than the red dress
So don’t call me baby
Cooler than the red dress
